It is not an overseas ball. Specs came out on my PBA product offer site today.
Sharp Noize
The Sharp NoiZe was created to give bowlers a sharper, more distinct angle down lane. This ball combines a proven winner both inside and out, featuring our TI Boss II core design along with Columbia 300’s fabulous 300 Plus ReactiveTM Pearl shell. This
ball will provide all bowlers great length on drier lanes while maintaining a SHARP turn through the pins on drier lanes.
